A water conservation faucet seamlessly integrating a tactile feedback mechanism into existing faucets to spur user controlled pre-set water flow rate, energy conservation, and cost savings. During movement of the handle, the user receives tactile feedback through the handle indicating the position of the handle as it moves from one pre-set position to the next. In addition to tactile feedback, the handle provides visual feedback to the user as the handle remains in the fixed position until the user chooses to move handle to another position.

A faucet that uses a gearing mechanism to allow the faucet handle to be placed much closer to the mixing valve is disclosed. Various embodiments involve geared mechanical operation of a mixing faucet, where the gears transfer motion of a handle to a faucet valve, which may allow for a lower handle (e.g., a handle placed closer to the faucet body). In some embodiments, an upper gear is provided in a faucet handle, and the upper gear may be held in a carrier. A set screw may lock the handle in place. Finally, a lower gear may be pushed onto the top of a valve stem. When the handle is lifted, the upper gear rotates against the lower gear, causing the valve to open. The carrier may rotate within the valve body, thus allowing for temperature control of the valve.

A mixing unit with a mixer tap for mixing two fluids and a method for manufacturing the mixer tap for mixing fluids are disclosed. The mixing unit has a cartridge, which is provided with a coupling base having an inlet for a first inflow, an inlet for a second inflow, and an outlet for an outflow obtained by mixing the inflows. The mixing unit also has a housing designed to be placed in a coupled position with the coupling base. The housing is designed to change the rate of the first inflow and/or second inflow on the basis of the temperature of the outflow. The mixing unit also includes an attachment for attaching a housing to the coupling base. The attachment allows for movement of the additional housing, in relation to the cartridge, between the coupled position and a separated position.

The present invention relates to a tap cartridge that includes a routing of a cable that may transmit data and/or supply electricity, for a tap handle or lever with electronic functions, and which also relates to the tap containing said cartridge with the routing system, wherein the configuration of a parameter of the fluid supplied is performed by rotation of said handle or lever, all thanks to a positioning through the inner cartridge and of an extra accumulation of cable in a space of the cartridge prior to the connection of the lever.

A water valve may comprise a valve shell, and a rotating base is installed in the valve shell. A lower end of the rotating base is sequentially connected to a driving valve piece and a fixed valve piece which are installed in the valve shell. A center of a top portion of the rotating base comprises a valve rod upwardly protruding out of the valve shell. The rotating base is configured to engage with the driving valve piece, and through operating the valve rod, the rotating base driven by the valve rod is adapted to drive and have synchronous rotation with the driving valve piece so as to change the relative positions between the driving valve piece and the fixed valve piece and then to control on/off operation of a faucet, ratio of hot and cold water and the amount of water flow.

A bottom portion of the driving valve piece comprises a concave portion to form a mixing chamber, and the mixing chamber has a first mixing space and a second mixing space, and the diameter of the first mixing space is larger than the second mixing space so as to increase the coverage of the mixing chamber. Each of two sides of the second mixing space comprises a pressure relief slot.

A diverter valve for a sanitary fitting having a diverter valve housing, a valve body for the targeted supply of a fluid to at least two diverter valve outlets, and a spindle for actuating the valve body. The spindle is biased, so that after cutting the spindle to length, the spindle is displaced from the diverter valve housing by a defined travel. Also a concealed installation body with a corresponding diverter valve as well as a method for mounting a corresponding concealed installation body are provided.

A ceramic valve with a function of informing the operation position includes casing, a drive device partially and rotatably secured in the casing, a clicker longitudinally mounted to an upper portion of the casing and an outlet control device mounted to a lower portion of the casing for holding the drive device in place, wherein the drive seat extending through the clicker. The clicker informs an operation position by a click sound when the outlet control device is driven to a cold water supplying position, a hot water supplying position and a mixing water supplying position.

The faucet of cartridge has an expandable temperature regulating rod in the main body. The temperature of water is regulated by changing the ratio of cold water and hot water by the movement of the temperature regulating rod. The water can be switched on or off by rotating the main body with respect to the seat. The main body includes an outer body, an inner body, and an anti-leaking element. The anti-leaking element is sandwiched between the outer body and the inner body to partition the space therebetween into two channels for cold and hot water to flow into the inner body.
